Steps:
- Set salmon fillets on a plate with flesh-sides up; brush the tops with melted butter.
- Combine paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, black pepper, white pepper, basil, and thyme for seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning evenly over top of the salmon fillets, then lightly press the spices down onto the fish.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, place salmon, flesh-side down, into the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip. Continue to cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 6 more minutes. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil to keep it from sticking together.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and garlic; saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove vegetable mixture from the pan and add it to the bowl with the linguine.
- Drain the excess liquid from the saucepan. Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter to the pan and reduce heat to medium. Stir in half-and-half, Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce has thickened.
- Pour sauce over the linguine and vegetable mixture. Add tomatoes and toss to combine.
- Serve pasta in bowls topped with blackened salmon, removing the skin, if desired. Garnish with parsley.

BLACKENED SALMON SANDWICH
I use wild-caught salmon when possible because it's lower in fat than farm-raised. That said, it is more expensive and harder to find in many areas of the country, especially if you're buying it fresh. But you can always check the freezer section, where it is more commonly found. If you do end up using farm-raised salmon, add about 12 calories and 1.5 grams of fat per ounce over wild-caught.

Steps:
- Lightly mist both sides of the fillet with spray. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides.
- Place a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the salmon. Cook the fillets 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until the outsides are just lightly browned. Then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the fillet is pale pink throughout, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Place the bun bottom on a serving plate. Top it with the salmon, followed by the arugula, tomato, then onion. Spread the mustard over the inside of the bun top. Flip it atop the sandwich. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh salmon. Fresh salmon will have a brighter color and a firmer texture than frozen salmon.
- Choose the right spices. Blackened seasoning is a blend of spices that typically includes paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. You can adjust the spices to your taste.
- Cook the salmon over high heat. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the salmon while keeping the inside moist.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the blackened salmon sandwiches immediately. This will help to ensure that the salmon is still crispy and the bread is still warm.
Conclusion:
Blackened salmon sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With their crispy crust and moist, flavorful interior, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give blackened salmon sandwiches a try.
